Should I worry about this /sci/?

I have a little fusion reactor I built. Powers my house. I intermittently get high random readings like this that disappear within minutes.

False alarms? I've checked the whole thing top to bottom with a real geiger counter and havent been able to find any leaks.

Bullshit.
You don't have a fusion reactor.

>>8149778
Followed some plans for a fusor, lined the inside of the chamber with silicon and lead to reflect gamma/neutrons to make it self sustaining, and ran a radiator through it connected to a steam engine. Puts out 10kW for a tiny amount of deuterium.

Not rocket science, you can get plans with a 5 second search. Figured out the silicon/lead reflector myself.

no offense but if you built a (more or less) functioning reactor, wouldn't a proper Geiger Counter be a good idea? Using a smartphone for this kind of measurements seems very ... unusual. I wouldn't risk getting C and but some more plates around it.

Also how do you create the magnetic field? Are using a coil, if yes, how is it wound?

Also how much money does it save you approx?

The tank of DT cost me $400, and I'm using my solar meter to feed the excess power back into the grid. It's gonna make me a fair bit at this rate if it holds out. Havent done the numbers on how much yet.

How big is the chamber, and whats the gas pressure?

You do realize that in the (extremely unlikely) case you're not full of shit, you've just created a fucking atomic bomb? A self-sustaining reaction in a nuclear power plant is called prompt criticality and leads to an exponentially increasing chain reaction that causes a meltdown. They keep them at critical with graphite mediators so the reaction can't run away.

Unless I'm missing something, if you so much as breathe on that gas flow you and half your state are going up in an enormous mushroom cloud.

TURN IT OFF AND CALL SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING.
>>
>>8149803
You're in serious trouble, then. No neutron reflector can be more than 50% effective, and you've probably only designed your shielding around 2.5 MeV D-D neutrons anyway. Thing is, T will build up as a waste product of D-D reactions, and D-T reactions produce much higher energy 14 MeV neutrons. So your shielding is being degraded very rapidly into a mess of radioactive isotopes through neutron activation.

It's only "self-sustaining" because he's capturing enough electrical power to keep the reaction going. Runaway fusion could be prevented easily with a fuse; the fuel density inside the reactor isn't enough for a boom anyway.

Yeah, if I turned the power off, the field would collapse and the fusion should stop.

>>8149927
The shielding problem is basically one of the biggest problems in making fusion reactors practical. All the accessible low-energy reactions produce ridiculous levels of neutrons - 14 MeV is far more energetic than fission reactors produce (Even 1 MeV is considered a "fast" neutron, and less than half of fission neutrons meet even that), and they carry off 80% of the energy of D-T. So you need some way to absorb them, but no material yet invented can take that - and anything that absorbs it becomes extremely high-level nuclear waste. Fusion researchers are just kind of hoping they'll cross that bridge when they come to it.

Some really optimistic people are aiming for proton-boron, which produces no neutrons and would allow for direct electrical conversion, but it's *ridiculously* difficult compared to the saner reactions.
>>
>>8149930
Absolutely. And be *extremely* careful about disposing of the reactor - if it's been soaking up 10 kilowatts of D-T fusion neutrons for a week, it will be severely embrittled and is likely high-level radioactive waste.
>>
>>8149943

This implies it's the reactor powering his house, which would imply it's actually outputting more power than it requires as input. Otherwise he's just running his mains power through a reactor for no reason.
>>
>>8150523
Because of the extra neutron, deuterium is easier to fuse than protium.

Hi there.
Im not too familiar with fusion reactors, but could you be dealing with a pulsed field that would give you a false low on your gm counter like pic related?

Also, never work on/with radionucliides or a location with a risk of radiation without a properly calibrated dosimeter. Its kinda hard to figure out exposure post-exposure without these sorts of things.

Wait wtf? You built a fusion reactor that exceeds breakeven? Why are you posting on /sci/ and not publishing papers about it? Do you realize how huge this is?

And what is this picture from, some kind of phone app? How does your phone measure radiation (especially considering your geiger counter doesn't show it)?

>>8149806
You think just because it uses a steam engine that makes it fission? Fusion doesn't mean you have to use a MHD or something, it's just how the reaction generates heat. And they specifically said deuterium, which is NOT fissile, unless you subscribe to some quack's version of nuclear physics.

>>8149829
Sure, building a fusor is trivial, but getting net power out of a fusion reaction is something that agencies with millions or even billions of dollars of funding haven't been able to do yet. What's your secret? Fusors are only supposed to be usable for research or as a neutron source, not power generation. If what you're saying is true, you could get incredibly rich off this.
>>
>>8149921
>You do realize that in the (extremely unlikely) case you're not full of shit, you've just created a fucking atomic bomb? A self-sustaining reaction in a nuclear power plant is called prompt criticality and leads to an exponentially increasing chain reaction that causes a meltdown. They keep them at critical with graphite mediators so the reaction can't run away.
"Criticality" only applies to fission reactors. And even then, getting a fission reactor to turn into a bomb is nearly impossible. An atom bomb needs the reaction to accelerate very quickly, to hold all that energy without blowing itself apart. Reactors aren't designed to do that, what you'll get is a conventional pressure explosion spreading radioactive junk everywhere, but that's a "dirty bomb", not a nuke. And fusion doesn't work that way, as soon as containment is lost the reaction stops. You might get a pressure explosion or a hydrogen fire, and again the stuff is radioactive, but it's still nothing like a nuclear bomb.

>>8149928
Building a FISSION reactor is almost trivial. Fusion is much, much harder.

>>8149948
>I'm no nuclear scientist
>Creates a working fusion reactor which scientific establishments with millions of dollars of funding haven't been able to do

>>8150523
Fusion's been possible since the late 50s, I believe. But the only way to get net power is with an H-bomb, everything else needs more power to facilitate the reaction than you get out of it. Apparently this guy's found some trick with a neutron reflector to prevent losses.
>>
>>8152536
Fusion reactors are physically incapable of meltdown. Meltdown is due to passive radioactive decay in the absence of cooling. But fusion fuel isn't anywhere near as radioactive as fission fuel rods, so you can just shut down the reactor and it will stop like that. Sure, it's still radioactive, but the decay energy isn't enough for the fuel to get hot enough to do any damage. So it should be possible to keep it contained. The reason meltdowns are so dangerous is that the radioactive fuel can actually melt through the containment and escape.

Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. Not a single proof, not even a timestamped photo.
>>
>>8152912
>What's your secret?
I used high carbon steel for the containment rings, put it inside a thick brass sphere enclosure, and had a 5mm interior shield cast from lead and silicon, 90-10, around an in & out pipe for a copper CPU radiator inside the chamber, the copper deuterium flow fitting and the power to the rings.

As I understand it the lead can reflect neutrons and the silicon can reflect gamma radiation. Obviously I forgot the whole thing would end up irradiated and transmuted from neutron activation.
>>

Come on. I just followed plans available on the internet and took a bit of research about silicon being able to reflect gamma rays where lead fails due to high energy/frequency. It was going to make me a bit feeding power back to the grid but there's gotta be reasons its not widespread yet.

And? Also, he didn't claim to measure anything but radiation. If he claimed actual numbers on power input/output as opposed to "when I put mains through this box I still get power out the other end!", then there would be reason to focus on this claim. Otherwise, it's not hard to dismiss that part of the story as stupidity. After all, the whole story is hypothetical stupidity.

You seem incapable of reading what you respond to. I said that what he said is bullshit, and that's not surprising considering if anything he said is true he's a fucking moron.

>1 amps acieved with 1 volts and 1 ohms = 1 watts
>1 amps achieved with 2 volts and 2 ohms = 2 watts

Does the current flow "stronger" in the latter circuit, or is the extra volt just used to negate the resistance? Is wattage a measurement of energy spent or energy flowing in the circuit? I know ohms law but I feel like I've never intuitively understood electricity.
>>
>>8153202
Amperage is the "strength" of the flow as far as intuition goes, so the extra volt is used to negate the extra resistance.
>>
>>8153202
it's like youre pushing the same block of wood (current) but you need a little more force (voltage) to push it on gravel than you do on ice

Looks somewhat legit that this may be OP's actual story, saw this in a /pol/ thread
>>
>>8155056
Cross-posting is not a sign of validity. We need pictures, a news article, or a scanned police write-up.
>>
>>8155061
Of course, but I think it's somewhat significant to see same story posted somewhere else, even though it could be just someone copying him

Plus if OP is an actual Australian it makes perfect sense for him to do something this stupid both because Australians are just dumb kangaroo m8s in general (don't forger the Great Emu War) and because China is screwing with all the Australian Energy prices

holy fuck you people are so fucking gullible

gtfo

No its not. This is not really a believable story at all
>>
>>8155072
>severe radiation exposure
>from a fusor
>to people in completely different homes, let alone in the same building
literally read a single book

>builds a fusion reactor in his backyard

>guys I think my phone app says there's too much radiation

This is the best thread of 2016 no contest

I don't know if this is the right board for this but aliens have just landed on my property and have given me immortality, but my etiquette phone app doesn't say whether It is wrong to offer them a lunch of cold cuts on the patio, of if the gravity of the event suggests taking them out for sushi.

What should I do /sci?

Pretty shitty book. Downplayed/didn't mention the fact that the guy had serious mental illness. Google a recent pic of him btw. Won't find that in the book.

That's nothing. I built a time machine. Right now it only goes forward in time at a rate of 60 minutes per hour. But with your generous donations who knows what is possible.

No shit

I dont think there is anyone in this thread that doesnt know that

This definitely would have made Australian news if it werent bullshit.

Quality post
>>8156595
Neutrons can be picked up on camera. They create a bright flash of light. I'm certainly not saying OPs story's true, but if there were an app for detecting neutrons, it'd probably use the phone's camera to pick up these flashes of light and give a reading.
>>
so OP is a lying faggot then?

>I built a nuclear reactor

As if anyone in /sci/ is actually smart enough to be able to build something like this.
>>
>>8160136
Building a functional nuclear fusion reactor is actually not that hard. It has been done many times by amateur scientists and teenagers.

However these reactors are not even close to efficient.

Nice try frienderino

But I like everyone else here picked in highschool and then lost their scholarship because of their own autism.

im in africa and use 24h time,

realy didn't know people dont use it everywhere.

America uses 12 hour time almost universally, I always assumed it was the norm in the western world.

godspeed op you glowious bastard

Most of the West and most of the world as a whole uses the 24h clock.
